How Do You Make Waterslide Nail Decals With Cricut?

Waterslide nail decals are a fun and easy way to add a bit of flair to your nails. They come in all sorts of designs, from simple abstract shapes to intricate and detailed art. If you have a Cricut machine, you can easily make your own waterslide nail decals at home. Here’s how:

First, find or create an image or design for your decal. You can use an existing clipart image, or draw something yourself in software like Photoshop or Illustrator. Once you’ve created the design, save it as a PNG file with a transparent background so that it can be cut with the Cricut machine.

Next, upload the design file into Cricut Design Space. Select “Nail Decal” as the material type, and then adjust the size of the decal to fit your nails. Then click “Make It” and follow the instructions on your Cricut machine to cut out the decal.

Once the decal is cut out, carefully remove it from the cutting mat and put it aside for later use.

Take some clear nail polish and apply one coat onto each of your nails that you want to decorate with the waterslide decal. Make sure that you evenly coat each nail and let it dry completely before moving on to the next step.

Now take one of your cut-out Waterslide Nail Decals and dip it into warm water for about 10 seconds until it starts to come apart from its backing paper. Gently slide the decal off its backing paper onto one of your nails that has been previously coated with clear nail polish. Use tweezers if needed for better control when placing the decal onto your nail. Once it is in place, press down lightly with a cotton swab to ensure that there are no air bubbles underneath the decal and let it sit until completely dry – usually takes about 10 minutes.

Finally, seal off your Waterslide Nail Decal by applying another layer of clear nail polish over top of each nail – this will help keep them looking fresh longer! And voila – you’re done! With just these few simple steps using a Cricut machine, you can now make custom Waterslide Nail Decals at home in no time!
